I made this for an article about cigar smoke and how harmfull it is for non smokers.

Since this was for children i made the cigar to look pale and unhealthy. I didnt want to make the kids "like" the cigar so i didnt make him appealing, but at the same time i wanted to make it styliced with a bit of 60s influence.

This was also done for the children's magazine "Tricolor" issue 145 page 1

It's about the great influence we get from reading books and how we translate it in our imagination.

Since this is an extreemly wide subject, i didnt want to illustrate specific things, I wanted the reader (mostly children) try to figure out the story in theyr mind instead of follow some clues on the illustrator's point of view. So i painted a girl reading a book and from the book a fairy made from letters is coming out. In the print version the fairy is much more defined since the greens in CMYK tend to go to the dark side. (yeah, like StarWars)
